Going to start saying that they don’t make adventure games like they used to but only because they don’t make games to promote Peperami OR BiFi salami sausages anymore

To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html

Doing some long-overdue cleanup on the English language this morning… "Carcinogenic" is now "cancerogenic." "Floor" is now "foor," the opposite of "roof." Complementary colors rhyme (red/gred, orange/blorange)

Imagine I'll get zero responses to this, but if any (UK-based) pool players happen to come upon this - any suggestions for where I could find good One Pocket games and players (preferably in London)?
Also any good 14-1 / Straight pool players out there?

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

A story of a 150-year-old font you have never heard of – and one you probably saw earlier today.

It’s always a surprise to see an old debug screen years and years later. This is not a fancy one but is what we saw when booting Tales of Monkey Island every day for the ~year it was in development.
